Dear friend"Vasudev kutukbkam" entire world is a family.This is the teaching of our indian culture and tradition.This is a wonderful site to to know our inner self and each other and can make a world a family.We created countries, boundaries,religions,cast,race for any reason.But this the time to realize that we are one and naturally interconnected with each other which we can just realize by watching inhale and exhale of our breaths. The source is same without any discrimination of religion and boundaries, equally for all living life of universe .When we understand this simple thing then we must understand how our and other's life is equally important, valuable and respectable .We should follow the nature's rule,God has given us a human life not for destruction but to look after the wellbeing of all living life so that peace and harmony can establish in this planet.I shall be happy if we could be a friend with harmonious relationship.shyam

It is the current political system that is creating all the problems in any country. The "Professional" politicians cannot live without creating a problem. So, conflicts will emerge and multiply that will necessitate more experts on conflict resolutions and peace-builders. So the creation of conflicts must be stopped. Towards this end, please see my opinion below:

"In a civilized society, the people must be empowered to directly participate in the governance of the country and the best way for the people to empower themselves is, a system of governance that would address the problems faced by various sections of the society - particularly the poor, the politically weak and the various categories of “minorities” who do not carry any “political weight” - would be to DILUTE the powers of all elected representatives of the people by separating the various powers of the Parliament and by horizontally empowering different sets of people’s representatives elected on different area basis to administer the different sets of the separated powers at different locations and thus throughout the country (a small fraction of the Parliament with defined powers and duties functions in each and every village, division, district and region)".

You are welcome Safiya. I am just starting up my organization even tough it is never too late. I see you have the ground running in Kaduna. Those pictures look awesome and great. Those are really happy faces. Keep up the good work.
